Please refrain from calling other people stupid, especially when they
do all this free service for you. Everybody is entitled to make a
mistake here and there without being called names (i this is at all a
mistake).

We could call the files texinfo-3.9.zip and texinfo-3.12.zip, but then
people who unzip them on plain DOS would have problems with these
names.
If we want to stick to DOS 8+3 limitations, even txi39b.zip as opposed
to txi312b.zip is ambiguous. It's not an easy problem to solve.
